Russell Wilson Still Wants to Play for Broncos Next Season Despite Benching

Russell Wilson’s time as the Denver Broncos’s starting quarterback may be coming to an end, but the 12-year veteran doesn’t appear ready to close the door on his future in Colorado.

Wilson, 35, indicated as much on Friday while addressing the idea of playing for the Broncos in 2024 in his first media session since Denver benched the QB in favor of Jarrett Stidham on Tuesday. Wilson’s interest in remaining with the club comes amid speculation that the benching could lead to his eventual release over contractual issues.

“I want to be, but I don’t know,” Wilson told reporters. “I came here for a reason, and that’s to win more championships. That’s still my focus, to this day. I’m under contract, I want to do whatever it takes and that’s why I’m going to practice the right way and do everything the right way.”
